Re: [DML] front brake rotor replacement



Too much torque definitely can warp rotors. Each auto and rotor manufacturer 
combination has it's own level of sensitivity to this problem. One example at 
the top of the list is the Mistubishi Diamante. Especially the early models. 
If front wheel lugs were torqued to anything over 80 ft lbs, after about 2-5 
thousand miles, the rotors would warp like clockwork. But these were rotors 
that were sandwiched between the hub and the wheel assy. This is not the case 
with the DMC-12. Overtorquing on the DMC-12 would first have to physically 
warp the hub assy to transfer the stress to the rotor itself. Not probable 
under most circumstances.
